Biography
Hyman Amberg was born in 1902 in New York City, New York to a Jewish-American family, the brother of Joseph Amberg and Louis Amberg. The brothers engaged in bootlegging and organized crime during Prohibition, and Amberg worked as an enforcer for the brothers, murdering a jeweler in 1926. Amberg was imprisoned at The Tombs prison on 125 White Street, and Amberg and another prison attempted an escape after acquiring guns. However, they were trapped against a wall by prison guards, and the two of them killed themselves rather than spend more time in prison.
